Cannot create subservers

I am creating a new server from scratch and transferring into it backups from a Ubuntu 16.04 server that has Webmin 1.972 and Virtualmin 6.14 on it. I have transferred my initial domain - which has no browsable site on it - and a subserver/subdomain that is the real focus of the domain. The “restore” processes worked without error. I have done a Re-Check Configuration and everything passes.

The subdomain in question is able to display an image, but when I try to load a php file containing only phpinfo(); I get: File not found. Apache error log says: AH01071: Got error ‘Primary script unknown’.

I am presuming I have an error in my site apache .conf file, and I have solved this in the past by creating a new subserver from scratch, with Virtualmin able to generate a valid .conf file. I would then compare the differences to see what’s suspicious. However creation of the subserver fails with this output:

When I check the file system, the directory /home/account/domains/test.account.org doesn’t exist. It never got created despite the 'Creating home directory …
… done" in the progress log.

What’s going on?

Disk space (maybe quotas) or memory, probably.

Yep! This server has quotas, the last one didn’t. I’ve disabled them and I can create subservers.
